What the recipe doesn't tell you

Hawaiian · Portable Food — Wwii-Era Japanese-American Fusion

A slice of Spam, pan-fried to a deep caramel crust, placed on a block of pressed sushi rice, wrapped in a strip of nori. The Spam may be glazed with shoyu, sugar, and mirin. The rice is seasoned with furikake. The whole assembly is compact, portable, and perfectly balanced between sweet, salty, savoury, and crisp. Eaten within hours of assembly, while the nori is still crisp.
